I just hooked up my PM2E to a BSDI box (through a hub), configured the
PM using Livingston ISP setup example. I am running DNS on the host (which
is not connectedt to the net yet though). Everything seems fine since I
see PM's LEDs as well as the hub's are all lid up as they supposed to.
But I can't ping the PM from the host (I got "No answer from the host")
or the host to the PM (I got "host is down" message.)
I rebooted the BSDI and the PM but got the same result. The following
is the output when I try to ping from the host to the PM and the outputs
from netstat. Hope some network exports can point out what I am missing.
(I am using the default network configuration came from BSDI.)
